Hello, I can understand your problem. At this age, most of the time , seizures are febrile seizures which goes generally after age of 4 to 5 yrs, which are because of fever. But in your case, as EEG shows some possibility but MRI is normal, So continue consultation with regular visit. If there is no any focus area in brain, there are lot of chances of complete cure from seizures and discontinuation of medicines after tapering the dose provided that there should not be any attack of seizures. I think this is helpful to you. Review back. Thank you.
